Undergraduate Teaching and Learning Assistants in the Chemistry Department are students who have excelled in their Chemistry classes and are interested in helping other students learn.
Undergraduate Teaching Assistants (UTAs) primarily assist with course logistics (e.g. proctoring, grading). UTAs can support active learning in class if they have completed, or are actively enrolled in, CHM4942: Instructional Experiences for Undergraduate Chemistry.
Learning Assistants (LAs) provide support to students in courses that involve active learning (e.g. problem-solving sessions, flipped classroom, team-based learning, problem-based learning, etc.). All LAs are required to complete, or be actively enrolled in, CHM4942: Instructional Experiences for Undergraduate Chemistry.
